After eight seasons of filming “Chelsea Lately,” funny girl Chelsea Handler says goodbye to E! to pursue other opportunities. It’s no secret that Handler and E!’s relationship has been rocky for a while. In March, Handler appeared on the Steve Howard show where she expressed her frustrations with the network by saying that it’s a “sad, sad place to live.”
“They don’t know what they’re doing. They have no ideas. It’s a failure.” she continued.
Handler’s manager, Irving Azoff touched on her departure saying “Chelsea intends to leave when her contract expires. She hired me to figure out her life after E! We have at least seven suitors and many ideas.”
Once Chelsea splits with E!, she will be walking away from her $9 million-a-year salary to pursue radio and other platforms like Netflix to start her new life.
During her TV career, Handler has interviewed a variety of Hollywood A-lister’s, including T.I., Jennifer Lawrence, Snoop Lion, Rick Ross, Drake and more. For her top interview highlights, hit the flip. – ruthie hawkins/@ruubabie
